For undergraduate and graduate students in technology-related programs, this text covers recent developments in systems maintenance research and practice. It includes issues such as evolving legacy systems to e-business, applying patterns for re-engineering legacy systems to the Web, architectural recovery of legacy systems, and evolving legacy systems into software components...

It certainly enriches the information systems evolution literature
– Professor Torbjorn Skramstad, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Norway
This book is essential reading for researchers, practitioners as well as post graduate students who are wishing to develop insights into any information system evolution and maintenance, particularly in the following four aspects: (1) transforming legacy systems to web based or e-business systems; (2) architectural recovery of the legacy systems using various techniques; (3) change management and systems quality assurance of legacy systems transitions; and (4) processes relating to the systems maintenance and evolution.
